We manage projects from concept through commissioning, including regulatory permitting, procurement, contracting, and construction management. Our expertise spans composite and steel materials, coated and bare pipe, and all major crossing methods including HDD, HDB, and open cut. With over 25 multi-year pipeline programs delivered, we offer proven efficiency through standardized designs and repeatable execution, often achieving engineering costs below 5% of TIC. Our specialized team—including mechanical engineers and material specialists—ensures reliable, cost-effective delivery across both lateral and mainline systems, often integrated into broader wellpad development programs.
Keywest has delivered over 125 Terminals and LACT projects across Western Canada for more than 30 upstream and midstream clients. Our experience spans a wide range of applications—liquid or gas, high or low flow, single or multi-commodity systems—from basic metering to fully integrated pumping, electrical, and storage solutions. We’ve engineered facilities connected to pipeline, truck, and rail networks, using tanks or bullets, and tailored to meet each client’s operational and regulatory requirements. Our dedicated CORE Projects Team specializes in Terminals & LACTs, offering agile support and in-depth knowledge of client operations. Keywest provides full-scope services, including engineering, piping models, civil, electrical, regulatory, procurement, and construction management, ensuring efficient and reliable project delivery from concept to completion.
